Not necessary to read this as Linux hostile, most company's support
people are only familiar with Windows, so as long as you can make them
feel you are on Windows and translate whatever they are advising to
Linux equivalent, you may be fine

This part is a little sad for anyone who have accent :(
And they aren’t drawn to Manila by cheap labour. Wages in the
Philippines are slightly higher than in India since the Filipino
accent commands a premium.
